‘The Other Side Is Crazy’: John Kennedy Explains ‘Message’ Voters Sent To Washington ‘Experts’

Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana explained Monday how voters sent a clear message in Tuesday’s election to “experts” in Washington, D.C.

Former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the election, securing more than the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the presidency early Wednesday morning while making significant gains with Hispanics, young people and black voters. Kennedy said the message voters delivered was “really simple.” (RELATED: Harris Claims She Doesn’t Support Taxpayer-Funded Sex Change Procedures For Prisoners Despite Previous Support)

“We saw what everybody else saw on Tuesday night. Despite what the so-called experts in Washington say, with their NPR tote bags and their organic broccoli, this was a really simple message from the people,” Kennedy told “America’s Newsroom” co-hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. “Republicans aren’t perfect, but the other side is crazy. And President Trump is going to do things differently, and we will pick a leader who will help him do that.”

Trump’s campaign ran ads featuring Harris discussing how she pushed “behind the scenes” for transgender prisoners to receive sex changes, while Trump said he supported banning biological men from competing in women’s sports during an Oct. 16 town hall moderated by Fox News host Harris Faulkner.

“We’re going to get President Trump’s nominees confirmed. President Biden has some people, not all, but many of them in important positions that frankly are meatheads, and we need to get them out of there and get President Trump’s people in. And I don’t anticipate that being a problem,” Kennedy told Hemmer and Perino earlier.

Kennedy also took aim at a list reportedly showing which Republican senators would vote for which candidate for Senate majority leader. (Click Here To Watch The Daily Caller Documentary “Do No Harm”)

“Well, there’s an official-looking document floating around the internet that supposedly says, ‘Here’s how every Republican senator would vote, and here’s who he or she would vote for Senate majority leader, and in an unprecedented act of selflessness, it has Sen. Thune actually voting against himself and for Sen. Cornyn,’” Kennedy said. “If you think this list is real or accurate, then you probably think that Elvis is alive and running a small bait stand on Lake Erie. We haven’t even had a meeting yet to hear the formal proposals from the three nominees about how, if at all, they will run things differently than Sen. McConnell. Here’s what I know: We will pick a leader who will advance President Trump’s agenda.”
